She was Broken

"Hey bitch!"Jada had just stepped out of the airport and was welcomed by an ear-piercing shriek. As usual, her friends were late again.She had just returned from a modeling gig in Paris, and an additional wait following a 13-hour flight is not exactly pleasant. It got to her nerves.“Shut up!” she snapped. “I’ve been waiting inside for thirty minutes already. Why are you guys late again? Did you just spit or swallow?” she asked, pretending to be irritated at the familiar faces that came to pick her up.The first one to come out of the van was Bambi–Jada’s manager, confidante, gay best friend, mother, father, older sister, and older brother all rolled into one."Shut it! As if you didn’t know, I haven’t been dating for weeks!” Bambi rolled her eyes as if reminded of his sad love life. “Actually, no one wanted to date me because I’m broke!” He continued, pouting his hot-pink lips.Next to Bambi is Jada’s real best friend, Honora Jones, but she preferred to be called Honey. And, driving

“So! We’ll see you at your place later,” Bambi told both girls, frantically waving as he walked backwards. “Ta-ta!”The pinks were excited for tonight. They were in a hurry to leave so they could get their clothes before going to Jada’s condo.Honey, on the other hand, was just as excited. They still have one more class to attend, but she cannot sit still anymore. She kept talking about all the what-ifs during class.After class, she immediately dragged Jada out of the room. They live in the same building, so it was easier for them to huddle.Honey was first to move at Vertex. Meanwhile, Jada’s family's house is located in Boca. It takes an hour to reach Flagler, or more if there is heavy traffic.Knowing this, her father offered to get a unit at Vertex. Fortunately, the unit right next to Honey’s was still vacant. Without second thought, Jada asked her father to get it. “Ouch!”A strong force hit Jada on the way downstairs. Unable to keep her balance, she stumbled on the floor, and h

Robin ordered four buckets of beer. When it was served, Steve volunteered to open the bottles and handed them over to each one of them.Meanwhile, Honey and Kobe were busy with the songbook, looking for a song to sing. The same goes for Ada, Bambi, and Robin.RJ and Lyken watched the others quietly. Jada, on the other hand, felt uncomfortable all of a sudden. Sitting between the two of them suddenly felt suffocating.“Ja, what was it you’re singing the other day? The one I asked you for the title?” Honey asked.Jada’s lips curled, thinking. "Hmm...Need to be next to you?""Ah yeah, that one!” And here came Honey’s puppy eyes. “Can you sing it for me?"Jada’s eyes widened. A clear warning to her friend, but Honey feigned ignorance.She can sing. She sang during family gatherings, but her confidence was only for them. Her friends were fortunate enough to hear her sing. But it was for their ears only.“Pretty please?” Honey begged, lightly nudging at Kobe, a rather obvious gesture.And, a

"Hi, sis! How's New York?" Honey sounds so lively while talking to Jada over Messenger."I'm fine, but I miss you," she replied, pouting at her. She even moved closer to the camera to kiss her and that made Honey laugh.It's been 2 years since Jada got to New York. Her living expenses are all on Faith still, but her cousin wanted it that way. She said it was her way of returning the favor for when it was her who lived with Jada’s family.Jada and her cousin would go out almost every night. It’s her way of moving on after breaking up with her boyfriend two months after Jada arrived.They would always go bar hopping and it’s not just some chill night out. Instead, they’d go to all-out parties.Jada got to meet other guys. She doesn’t know though, why she doesn’t feel interested. She dated someone once, but it didn’t last long.There was this one time when they got drunk and he took her to his apartment. It was a hot and sizzling night.He knew Jada didn't want to have sex so he asked he

“What have you been doing with your life?”Jada was surprised when somebody spoke next to her. She didn’t notice that Kobe had already gotten so close and he'd finally managed to ask what he'd been thinking about for hours now.She smiled sheepishly at the man to somehow make him forget what he wanted to know, but it wasn’t effective. He just sat there looking intensely at her and he seemed determined to get an answer.Jada suddenly felt scared, "Hon, Kobe’s interrogating me!” she called, trying to get Honey to rescue her, but the woman didn’t respond.“He plays with men, Kobe,” Bambi spilled. He even sticks his tongue out at Jada.“Wow! Aren’t you being rude? How was I playing with them when I was actually pleasuring them?” she tried to refute.Jada knew what she said didn’t make any sense. But she has to say something before Kobe starts scolding her.If she lets him talk first, she’d probably feel lost and she might slip up. And with everything she knows, that’s a huge no-no.When t
